With the resurgence of race-related incidents nationally and on
college campuses in recent years, acts of overt racism, hate
crimes, controversies over free speech, and violence continue to
impact institutions of higher education. Such incidents may impact
the overall campus racial climate and result in a racial crisis,
which is marked by extreme tension and instability. How
institutional leaders and the campus community respond to a racial
crisis along with the racial literacy demands of the campus leaders
can have as much of an effect as the crisis itself. As such, 21st
century university leaders must become more emotionally intelligent
and responsive to emergent campus issues. Improving campus climate
is hard, and to achieve notable gains, higher education
professionals will have to reimagine how they approach this work
with equity-influenced practices and transformative leadership. The
Handbook of Research on Leading Higher Education Transformation
With Social Justice, Equity, and Inclusion offers a window into
understanding the deep intersections of identity and professional
practice as well as guideposts for individual leadership
development during contested times. The chapters emphasize how
identity manifests in the way we lead, supervise, make decisions,
persuade, form relationships, and negotiate responsibilities each
day. In this book, the authors provide insight, examples, and
personal narratives that explore how their identities, lens, and
commitments shaped their leadership and supported their courageous
acts for equity and social justice. It provides practical tools
that leaders can draw on to inform sustainable equity and
inclusion-focused practices and policies on college campuses and
will discuss important campus climate issues and ways to address
them. This book is a valuable reference work for higher education
administrators, policymakers, leaders, managers, university
presidents, social justice advocates, practitioners, faculty,
researchers, academicians, and students who are interested in
higher education leadership practices that support and promote
social justice, equity, and inclusion.
